Answer 1

Though_______money, his parents managed to send him to university. 选项在下面：
A. lacked B. lacking of C. lacking D. lacked in
选C。　尽管缺钱，他的父母还是送他上了大学。
lack可以当及物动词，它的逻辑主语是his parents，后面有money当它的宾语，所以用lacking。可以看成是Though his parents lacked money, ......变来的。

Answer 2

选C, lacking
本题考查非谓语动词。
前面的分词结构的逻辑主语即后面主句的主语“his parents”,而his parents跟动词lack之间存在主动的关系，而非被动。所以排除表示被动的lacked，即排除A,D
另外，lack of中的lack 做名词，不加-ing，所以排除B,选C
整句表示：尽管缺钱，他的父母还是设法送他去上大学。
